- Comment on Backups made easy: btrfs + snapper + snapborg 3 hours ago:
This keeps backups efficient since you can ask the filesystem to only send the changes instead of going over all the files and figuring out what has changed, so it’s probably a lot faster.
Aaaah!

I use borg with borgmatic. I just back up / and exclude some folders I don’t want. It does the same as you just said.
- Comment on Backups made easy: btrfs + snapper + snapborg 7 hours ago:
You misunderstood my question, because what you said is true either way with borg.
The question is, what is the advantage of backing up the whole subvolume “block device” vs just / file structure.
- Comment on Backups made easy: btrfs + snapper + snapborg 17 hours ago:
I don’t really understand the advantage of backing up the whole btrfs volume.

I’ve recently looked into github.com/firefly-iii/firefly-iii because it has imports for my banks banking API.
It uses mariadb by default and the GUI looked relatively simple.

- Comment on Two Open Source Projects Combine to 3D Print a Working Replica Key Using a Flipper Zero 1 week ago:
I wasn’t able to find it online. It came with the house.
It is a flat key that has normal teeth on the edges, two rows of small teeth on the top and bottom and two balls that can sink and rise, one large one small.
- Comment on Two Open Source Projects Combine to 3D Print a Working Replica Key Using a Flipper Zero 1 week ago:
You could already do that by just taking a photo of the key, or using a pen and paper, or press it in a piece of cheese. Basically, half of the stuff one already has at hand could be used to achieve the same goal.
Also I am glad that my keys/locks have security features from the current millenium. Makes it a pain to pick or duplicate (yes even non maliciously, the local locksmith needed to order specially stuff just for me lol)

Did they actually selfhost their podcast? Or did they use some 3rd party distributor?

Copied reply from the mastodon thread:
tldr - OP misunderstood a bug as a new limiting policy
Hey Laurence from CrowdSec Support here.
We don’t store logs, so I assume you’re referring to alerts. Based on the screenshot you provided, the most likely reason you’re not seeing any alerts is that they may fall outside the currently selected date range. You can try clicking the magnifying glass icon next to the date picker to remove the filter, which should display all available alerts.
That said, there is a known issue we’re actively fixing—clicking on the date picker may trigger an error. If removing the filter doesn’t work, let me know, and once the fix is live, I’ll be happy to ping you so we can investigate further.
Regarding alert retention, the community tier has always had a limit—either 500 alerts or seven days, whichever comes first. With the new system, we now retain alerts for both the current and previous month, up to 500 per month, effectively doubling the total alert capacity to 1,000. If you’re primarily interested in real-time alerts, keep in mind that the CrowdSec console is designed for alert retention and ease of use, with additional features. Alternatively, for those who prefer a fully customized setup, we provide extensive documentation on integrating CrowdSec with Prometheus and Grafana for self-hosted monitoring.
I understand the frustration, and I appreciate the feedback. However, it’s important to consider that CrowdSec is built and maintained by a dedicated team of around 30 people. While open-source, over 95% of contributions come directly from our team, whether for the hub or various CrowdSec components. Ensuring the long-term sustainability of the project requires balancing free community access with the resources needed to maintain and improve the platform.
Happy to discuss more via email or on this thread, as we truly value feedback and want to ensure every voice is heard across various platforms.

Not on topic but do you mind explaining the Pine64 breakage?
I am running a lot of their products and a soquartz cm module broke for me as well, I am hoping the rest will hold on for a long time.
- Comment on Caddy reverse proxy 3 weeks ago:
The error suggests that you’re trying to mount a file (
Caddyfile
) onto a directory or vice versa. Let’s debug this step by step.Steps to Fix:
-
Check if the path exists and is correct Run:
ls -ld /home/Joe/container/caddy/Caddyfile
- If it’s a directory, it should be a file instead.
- If it doesn’t exist, create an empty one:
touch /home/Joe/container/caddy/Caddyfile
-
Ensure correct permissions
chmod 644 /home/Joe/container/caddy/Caddyfile
-
Check YAML Formatting
Yourdocker-compose.yml
seems to have incorrect indentation and improper quotes aroundversion
. Here’s a fixed version:version: "3.3" networks: caddy: services: portainer: image: portainer/portainer-ce:latest container_name: portainer2 restart: unless-stopped security_opt: - no-new-privileges:true volumes: - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro - /home/Joe/containers/portainer/portainer-data:/data networks: - caddy ports: - 9000:9000 caddy: image: caddy:latest restart: unless-stopped container_name: caddy ports: - 80:80 - 443:443 volumes: - /home/Joe/container/caddy/Caddyfile:/etc/caddy/Caddyfile - /home/Joe/container/caddy/site:/srv - /home/Joe/container/caddy/caddy_data:/data - /home/Joe/container/caddy/caddy_config:/config networks: - caddy

Restart Docker and Try Again
docker compose down docker compose up -d
If the error persists, check
docker logs caddy
for additional hints. -

Probably should have given the evidence to the police instead of deleting it.
In most western jurisdictions platform owners are not liable for user content, so nothing to worry about - just tell the police and ask them what they would like you to do with the data.
- Comment on How can I host a small api/database accessable from a phone app as cheap/easily as possible? 4 weeks ago:
Thank you very much for pointing this out.
I completely forgot to mention this, since I’ve been running compute modules with nvme’s for ages.
- Comment on How can I host a small api/database accessable from a phone app as cheap/easily as possible? 4 weeks ago:
If it is for home use, why not go with a raspberry pi (or similar, there are lots of cheaper alternatives like it) which is only accessible from the local network and not from the internet?
If access through the internet is needed, you can use one of many free dyndns services.
- Comment on Experience with refurbished and recertified HDDs? 1 month ago:
Yes I have and it’s good, but I don’t think anecdotal evidence matters. I may have been lucky or you might be unlucky.
Personally I always buy multiple refurbished drives and put them in a raid in such a way that they can fail without fucking me over.
- Comment on Hetzner announces price hike for cloud servers and bandwidth cut of up to 95% 1 month ago:
You can get 4 cores, 6gb ram, 200gb ssd for 6$ per month from contabo.
Lets normalize the price for comparison.
6/3 = 2
So for the same normalized price you get:
- 1.333 cores
- 2GB RAM
- 66GB SSD storage
And the math gets even worse if you compare the other tiers.
- Comment on Hetzner announces price hike for cloud servers and bandwidth cut of up to 95% 1 month ago:
Thats expensive.
With a very nieche benefit. I doubt that one core can chug enough to make any significant bandwith.
